Rice plants segregating for opaque endosperm were selected and tested in every generation from F₅ to F₉ of a CB243/IR50 cross. Six near isogenic lines(NIL_s) showing difference in opaqueness, of which three lines have opaqu

In order to develop near isogenic lines (NILs) the heterozygous rice plants for alkali digestibility value(ADV) were selected and tested in every generation from F5 to F9 of a cross, Seratus malam/Suwon 345. Finally several sets of NILs, which were six low ADV lines and four medium-high ADV lines, were selected among F10 lines. No differences of the plant growth characteristics, amylose content and protein content of rice grain were found between low and medium-high ADV lines. Rice flour of low ADV lines showed longer gel length in gel consistency test than medium-high ADV lines, and also showed different gelatinization characteristics measured by rapid visco analyzer compared with medium-high ADV lines. The result of genetic analysis indicated that ADV-NILs developed were differed in a pair of major gene controlling ADV, and low ADV was dominant over medium-high ADV.
